A freelance fashion stylist and contributor with Harper’s BAZAAR Singapore, Ai Mei, was accepted into Central Saint Martin’s 2009 cohort for BA (Hons) Womenswear, before graduating from LASALLE College of the Arts, with a Diploma in Fashion Design in 2008. Ai Mei is the designer behind the MAE PANG label, which will open its first flagship store at PARCO’s Next this April.

Worked specifically around the Bassin Du Dragon -a central water fountain in the Gardens of Versailles- Ai Mei’s Phantasmagoria collection is a glimpse into the quiet dramatics of the garden grounds. Depicting children riding majestic sea dragons, MAE PANG explores the fantasy story behind this prolific piece of sculpture, together with notions of guardian gargoyles and fantastical creatures alike. “The capsule collection awakens these phantom statues and silhouettes with silk screened images and dreamy pastel chalk tones,” Ai Mei adds. “The collection includes my signature cropped jackets and tops, in bold cutting-edge constructions inspired by gargoyle sculpture forms and the sharp structural configurations of dragons.”
